SCENT OF MEMORY

Suddenly a sweet smell
Lightened my heart
With a pleasant air:
But I was not in a flower garden
In full bloom,
And it was not springtime:

Then I heard my soul whisper,
As if saying:
“Surely the one
           who knows your sorrows
Was passing
Through the dark corridors
                        of your memory.”
